Thanks a lot for sharing! His previous videos on that topic also seem interesting.

Some nice wizard skating mixed with nature: a beautiful edit.

Nils Frahm, his albums are quite different from each other; here are some I like in no particular order:

Do you have or want any recommendations?

Nicht direkt ein Ohrwurm, ist mir aber hängen geblieben: Team Scheisse – Schmetterling

What kind of skating do you like? Street, park, speed, dance, …? Why do you enjoy it?

Also, would you like to try some other types of skating? Why? And what’s holding you back?

[-] smeikx@lemmy.graz.social 3 points 1 year ago

I’ll join you in your corner. 🫂

Do you want to conform to any gender? If so, why?
What do you think makes one non-binary?

I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲

I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.

I use it on a Raspberry Pi 4.

On the one hand I like Lua for its elegant, minimalistic design. I enjoy writing Lua, most of the time when working on Neovim plugins.

On the other hand I value the raw expressive power of C++. It is a beast, but I enjoy taming it.

Great videos for learning quad skating, specifically park skating.

A lot of effort has gone into improving the performance and speed of all aspects of Inkscape.

Oh yeah! That’s what I want to see.

This involved the refactoring of inefficient code, rewriting how Inkscape works with patterns, moving bitmap tracing into a separate thread and so much more.

Canvas rendering is now both multithreaded, and done outside of Inkscape's main process thread.

If your computer's processor has more than one core (which it most likely does), this can result in a 2–4× speedup while zooming / panning / transforming objects.

Hah, same. As an overambitious employee of Grizzco the catalogue pages just fly by.

I have had my Them 909s for a few months already when I started noticing pain on the side of my ankle when skating for about half an hour.

As there are so many people recommending Intuition, praising their liners for their good fit, I got their Premium model, hoping to eradicate that pain.

When I tried them I was promptly disappointed: It hurt even more. I removed that velcro wrap which made it better, but still not better than with the old liners.

I went online and learnt that you could heat mold them, which I tried, not going overboard with the temperature, though. It made it better, I guess?

But it still hurts, so I continued my research and found several people claiming that the liners need to be broken in for about ten to twenty hours. I hope they are right, I will not give up yet.


Update (3 days later)

Two days ago I skated them for three hours straight. At first it felt quite alright, especially my right foot felt fine, but there was some discomfort on my left one.

After a while that discomfort turned into pain, and after another while I somewhat got used to it. I got the feeling that I was breaking in my feet instead of the liners.

Unfortunately, my left foot still hurts when I put pressure on that one hot spot. I won’t skate until that spot has fully recovered, otherwise I couldn’t judge if liner becomes better anyway.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy …!

The edit is almost a year old but so worth rewatching, it has some really good vibes.

Fatal Sound Bug (lemmy.graz.social)

I encountered a super weird bug today: Just as a x100 battle was about to start, all sound was gone! No music, no effects. It returned only at the (other team’s ☹️) victory screen.

Did something similar ever happen to you?

[-] smeikx@lemmy.graz.social 25 points 1 year ago

Damn, actually can’t wait to get there (just have to actually finish something first).

I love seeing aggressive skating becoming more technical. (I’ll probably stay closer to the wizard end of the wizard-aggressive spectrum, though. 🧙‍♂️)

One of my favourite wizard edits with Joey from Mushroom Blading and Leon Basin.

The edit is full of smooth, creative and silly tricks; also there is no music, just the soothing sound of big wheels in solid metal frames sliding on nice concrete.

Some crazy good skating from the 80s: incredible levels of flexibility and control!
